Nigeria Energy 2025 to power West Africa’s energy future

The 12th edition of the Nigeria Energy Exhibition and Conference, a foremost West African influential energy event, begins in Lagos on Monday. The three day energy conference will hold at the Landmark Centre.
Organised by and held with the endorsement of the Federal Ministry of Power, the event—themed “Powering Nigeria through investment, innovation and partnership”—will bring together thousands of energy professionals, decision-makers, and innovators to tackle Nigeria’s most pressing energy challenges and explore investment-driven solutions across the value chain.
According to Informa Markets- the event organisers, this year’s edition, now in its 12th year, will focus on unlocking the capital, policy reforms and technologies needed to build a more reliable and sustainable power sector.
Speaking at the pre event briefing, the Exhibition Manager, Energy Portfolio – MEA, Informa Markets, Ade Yesufu, emphasised the strategic focus of this year’s theme and its timeliness considering current reforms.
“The theme reflects the urgent need to address infrastructure gaps, mobilise investment, and accelerate reforms. Nigeria Energy 2025 will provide a platform where stakeholders can align on policies, forge new partnerships, and showcase innovations that can drive the sector forward,” Yesufu said.
He noted that the Nigeria Energy conference and exhibition continues to serve as a catalyst for collaboration and deal-making across generation, transmission, distribution, renewables, off-grid systems, and energy efficiency. “With Nigeria facing a critical infrastructure gap, slow-moving reforms, and investment bottlenecks, the 2025 edition seeks to spark actionable conversations around public-private partnerships, regulatory harmonisation, and emerging opportunities in areas like hydrogen, decentralised solar, and grid digitization,” Yesufu explained.
This year’s conference will feature insight-driven sessions led by industry thought leaders including the Special Adviser to the President on Power Infrastructure, Sadiq Wanka; the Commissioner, Lagos State Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Biodun Ogunleye; the CEO, Azura Power, Edu Okeke; Vice Chair, Board of Directors, African Energy Council, Dr. Chinnan Dikwal and CEO, Egbin Power Plc, Mokhtar Bounour.
Yesufu added that the sessions will span five core focus areas: Power Deals & PPPs: Structuring bankable energy infrastructure projects; State Reform Strategies: Unlocking decentralised electricity markets; the Hydrogen Shift: Positioning Nigeria in the future energy economy; Grid Efficiency & Innovation: Advancing reliability through technology and Electricity Act in Action: Milestones, market liberalization.
With over 8,500 energy professionals, including energy commissioners, developers, regulators, financiers, and technology providers, expected to participate across three days of high-level summits, technical sessions, and interactive exhibitions, stakeholders insist that the Nigeria Energy programme continues to serve as the “go-to” platform for meaningful dialogue, partnerships, and investment opportunities across the energy value chain.
